The record, aptly titled Hello, I’m Embla is a mission statement for the former Razika drummer gone country: “Here I am and this is what I am all about.” The Dolly Parton-referencing album title might come across as cocky but is more about Karidotter h...

9AM RECORDS: Greatfruit - What's the Use by Jansen Records

This one is about friendship and love. It’s about wondering how a friend is doing and wanting to support someone who’s lonely. Even though you might not hear it, one of the inspirations behind this was Steve Reich. I told Lars (Horntveth, producer) that I loved the strings on “Venus As a Boy” by Björk, and he arranged something awesome based on that.

21-year-old Helven makes music in the realm between hell and heaven – between light and darkness. It is HiFi-lofi, caught on a Super 8 camera, shown through an iPhone. It is music full of contradictions, and a prime example of what the future of bedroom pop can bring. The songs are varied and the music is full of references: From foggy Lana Del Rey-vibes and alternative R&B, to UK garage and catch...
